Last Updated: Alongside Son Ye-jin, Jo Yu-ri, who gained attention with her role in Squid Game season 2, has also been approached to be one of the leads in Variety. Crash Landing On You star Son Ye-jin will finally be back on screen after her marriage and pregnancy. After starring in Thirty Nine in 2022, she is gearing up to appear on a new K-Drama, Variety. Alongside her, Jo Yu-ri, a former IZ*ONE member who gained attention with her role in Squid Game season 2, has also been approached to play the lead. Although neither the show's creators nor the actors' agencies have officially confirmed their involvement, the latest reports mention that filming is expected to begin in July 2025. Not much is known about the story, but it is believed to focus on South Korea's tough and exciting K-pop industry. According to What's on Netflix, other than Son Ye-jin and Jo Yu-ri, more actors will be announced soon. The new drama, directed by Kim Yong Hoon and produced by CJ ENM, will dive into untold stories and hidden secrets of the K-pop industry. It will show the glamorous side and the challenges idols face as they compete between music companies. Earlier, Star Today reported that Son Ye-jin was offered the main role in Variety. However, since she is busy preparing for the Netflix series Scandal, she had not confirmed her appearance at that time. Ye-jin's representative stated, 'It is true that we received an offer to appear in the drama. We have received the script and are currently reviewing it." In the upcoming drama, Son Ye-jin is said to be in talks to play a bold and outspoken character, inspired by the controversial ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin. Jo Yu-ri's role is still not confirmed, but she might appear as one of the idols. The series is currently in its pre-production stage. If everything goes as planned, Variety is expected to release either in late 2026 or early 2027. In another Netflix series, Scandals, Son Ye-jin will be sharing screen with Ji Chang-wook and NANA. The story is set in the Joseon era, which follows Lady Cho and Cho Won. Together, they make a risky plan and pull in Hui-yeon, without him even realising it. The series is based on the 2003 Korean film Untold Scandal, which itself was inspired by a French story about secret affairs and temptation. First Published:
